Alice Smith: organist at Sjømannskirken

Alice Smith from Buckie was one of the organist who played at service at the
Sjømannskirken in East Church Street throughout the war.  She started playing there at the age of 15.  There were a number of local and Norwegian people who acted as volunteer organists and pianists for services.

Alice, later Mrs Cheyne, was presented with a number of gifts in gratitude for what she did, including a copy of All for Norway the book produced by the Government-in-Exile to mark the seventieth birthday of King Haakon in 1942.

Later, in 1962, Alice visited Norway and tried to find some of those who had been in Buckie during the war.
